I wonder how many students changed their minds about becoming teachers because of what’s been going on over the last few years.

Gutting education is part of the plan for any authoritarian takeover. Knowledge is power. Why give the people the power? How very unauthoritarian.

I'm not sure about that, but it has been clear for the past few decades then education funding in many areas of the country has dropped. Annoying paperwork and class sizes have gone up, resources have gone down. On average, it's less appealing than it once was.
